Our Yankee cousins have agar

Our Yankee cousins have again
given us the scold shoulder" The
survivors of Pickct'S division III
tended to have u reunion at Get
ty>lurg on the 3rl of July next,
and proposed on that day TO have
a monument erected in honor of
the gallant heroes who fell there
in IL charge, as grand as was ever
recorded in history. by men as no
bic and patriotic as the world has
ever seen. The committee sent to
arrange for the Reunion and t" Sc
cure permission to erect the monu
umcnt, were not only informed that
permission could not be granted
for the erection Of the monument
on the spot to which the division
penetrated within The Federal line
in their charge. but that the i'll
scription to be placed thereon was
objectionable. The committee sent
to Gettysburg, having reported to
the executive committee Of Pick
eti.'s division the result OF their
visit, it has Eeen wisely concluded
to honor our gallant dead with
monument IN Hollywood cemetery.
Comment is unnecessary, but we
cannot refrain from expressing the
opinion, that untilcur yictorS learn
to he mole generous, thcic should
he less shaking Of bands cover the
bloody chasm," and less of that
gushing efiuSion of sentiment
which our people express every
time one who wei e the blue crosses

10 objection not only was evei
made, but in the ceremonies at
tendant thereon many Confcder-
ates participated. Was the mem-
Dry of such a man deserving of
more respect than our OWL heroes?
1t is right to forgive our enemies,
but until they show less enmity to
us. perhaps we should be in the fu
ture less d. morStratiye in our aztec
tion for them, and less willing to
honor the dead CT those, however
noble the record made IN their
lives, who are actuated by such
hostile feelings to our dead heroes.

1t is generally believed that Ma
lone and his heDchmen, have en-
deayortd to throw every obstacle
in the way ola settlement of the
State debt. Thatinicrence is drawn
nom the fact, that either he or
those who DO his bidding as their
master, have been unremitting in
their attentions to tho representa-
tives of the bondholderS ever since
their arrival in this country. Of
course Malone did not want the
debt settled, as it would rob him Of
the means by which he could hope
for political prcterment. Having
advocated every measure III con-
nection with the debt, from abso-
lutte Reputation to the payment of
the last penny which has been
claimed by the creditors of the
State, nothing is SO vile or so det-
rlmental to the States welfare
which he would not favor if there
by his own selfish motives could be
promoted. In his latest role we
present him to our leaders, and
submit the query if there is an
honest man whatever his political
affiliations, that should not despise
and forever repudiate % man so
filthy, vile and ipimical to every
thing that pertains to their welfare
aud interests.
